landscape as portrait

[Paul Metcalf]

hi

When printing through a printserver using “broadcast” shared Q’s, jobs printed in landscape come out portrait, but upside down. So, if the paper comes out of the printer normally with the “top” of the page coming out first, then in "landscape" it comes out as portrait, but with the "top" of the page coming out last. (??!!)

If, however, you print to the same Q, but this time print through a Q on the local machine pointing to the printserver, (ie. NOT use the “broadcast” Q), landscape comes out ok.


If I print using the same conditions, but this time using only Macs, on as the source of the print and one as the printserver “broadcasting” a shared Q, landscape comes out fine.

This would seem to indicate that the source of the print was fine, or at worst “incompatible” with something on the Debian printserver. If the problem was with this server, the logical culprit would be the generic PPD I was using, but I’ve replaced that with an another copy, AND used the proper PPD for the printer. This would seem to get the PPD off the hook.


So what the devil’s going on!?

Anyone got any ides how I might fix this problem?!?!


	Thanks
